AI Technical Summary
Current therapeutic approaches targeting EGFR and HER2 signaling pathways in cancer treatment face challenges due to acquired resistance, particularly the upregulation of HER3, leading to limited long-term benefits and resistance in patients.
Development of bispecific tetravalent antibodies that simultaneously target EGFR and HER3, comprising an IgG moiety with two heavy chains and two scFv moieties covalently connected, enhancing binding specificity and stability to inhibit oncogenic signaling.
The bispecific tetravalent antibodies effectively inhibit EGFR/HER3 dimerization, overcoming resistance to EGFR inhibitor treatments and providing superior therapeutic efficacy by maintaining strong binding affinity and stability, thereby inhibiting tumor cell proliferation.
